Mr Mario Teo 2020-06-25 Person 5 5 0

Mr Teo is a wonderful surgeon, as well as obviously being technically brilliant , he is an excellent communicator, listening , and explaining the details of the treatment involved. I had returned to Southmead on the 12 th March 2020 , after an angiogram taken the previous week had confirmed the presence and location of a spinal av fistula, a rare condition which was causing severe mobility problems as well as other symptoms, I understand that untreated this would have progressed to cause paraplegia. Thankfully Mr Teo considered my case urgent, and I will be eternally grateful, he organised and carried out the operation to successfully close the fistula on the 13th March , I was allowed home a few days later just as Covid19 was gripping the country. I realise now that delay would have probably resulted in an indefinite wait due to the Pandemic. Instead I am returning to full fitness, walking, cycling and gardening. I would also like to mention Mr Teo's secretaries Nikki and Sheila , although we haven't met they have been so kind and helpful on the phone . Thank you.
